I want to update my video card driver so I can play Second Life but I don't
know how can anyone help me? I have Windows XP.
Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:
1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.
To find out what hardware is in your computer:
1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.

If none of the above makes sense to you, ask a knowledgeable friend to
help (someone who really *is* knowledgeable and not just saying he is)
or take the machine to a professional computer shop (not a
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place).
